Can you ping the remote system using its IP address?

FYI, the labeled zone relies on the global zone for name resolution. 
There is a single nscd shared by all zones. So it's the global zone that 
must be properly configured. The IP addresses listed in /etc/resolv.conf 
should be assigned the admin_low template. This can be done explicitly 
in tnrhdb, but it is better to do this in the eventhook script, via 
commands like

tnctl -h <dns-server>:admin_low

I'd like you to try a few things to help diagnose your problem. In your 
labeled zone run these commands and post the result:

plabel $$
tninfo -h <the dns name of the remote web server>

Do you have a web proxy server defined? If so run this

tninfo -h <the web proxy server>

Do you have an automatic proxy URL, .e.g. proxy.pac? Does it resolve 
names differently

Are you using dhcp? If so, did you follow these directions?

Are you using the eventhook script in the tar file?

Are you using an all-zones interface?
